THURSDAY EVENING,
, Zbyszko, the present championship
{ claimant
j An old score between these two
; wrestlers when they meet —the one
I which resulted at the time of the
; 1916 New York State Tournament,
i! when Roller and Draak wrestled to
j a two-hour no-decision draw. Since
i[that time there are those who claim
i that Roller sidestepped the husky
j Belgian, but the doctor laughs away
, these remarks. He has proved to
Harrisburg that he doesn't sidestep
any grappler.
Tickets for the show were placed
on sale yesterday morning at Shenk
and Tittle's sporting goods store and
Harry's cigar store. They are going
fast
Dr. Roller reresents all that is
fair, wholesome and thrilling In
wrestling and he is doing a big thing
for athletics by his courageous at
i titude against the "wrestling trust."
He is very optimistic, however, for as
this statement of his indicates:
"Has the wrestling game entered
a period of decadence?" I should
say emphatically No! I believe the
wrestling game to-day is more pop
ular than ever in the history of this
country. There are more people in
terested in wrestling, from the stand
point both of the competitor and
the spectator, than ever before,
j Wrestling is unquestionably the
, greatest of all sports and will never,
I while mankind exists, lose its pop
| ularity if the sport is maintained as
| such and the people have a chance
|to see real wrestling, instead of
I mere exhibitions.
| It is very unfortunate that there
| has never been an organization to
| control the wrestling game such as
i the commissions and organizations
' which have controlled and regulated
I boxing, baseball, football and other
I lines of sport in which we are chiefly
i interested.
! It is a fact, however, that just
now and for the last several years,
there have been very Influential if
not dominating influences that have
so controlled competition that the
i sum total of the game, as the public
sees it, has been of necessity very
much denatured. There has been,
nevertheless, a great deal, and in
i fact until tho restraining Influence
of the war was felt, an ever-lncreas-
I ing amount of clean, scientific and
j beautiful wrestling in this country,
| and I must add that the wrestling
game in the United States has at
[ traded the greatest men in the sport
, from all parts of the world.
The fact that six of the poorest
matches I ever saw, drew in the
neighborhood of one nundred and
fifty thousand dollars at Madison
• Square Garden last year, is proof
positive that the game is not de
i caved. The public wants wrestling
| and the public will pay fabulous
j sums to see good wrestling. But
; when a few managers get together
; with a stable of men they can con
trol and agree to give and take and
conduct a certain number of exliibi
j tions, at the end of which there is
(still no winner or loser among them,
I agreeing meanwhile to bar from
I competition anybody who cannot be
I controlled, provided he is good
enough to menace their well-laid
plans and thereby cut in on money,
;then the public does not get a run
| for its money and the game falls
; quickly Into disrepute. That's the
; condition of affairs In certain Amer
-1 ican cities to-day.

Three Factor* In Tech Team—Man ager "Birdie" Hinkle, Coach Al
bright and Captain "Bill" Hoerner
Jazz stuff will be on the program
to-morrow afternoon when the base
ball artists of Tech will entertain
Reading High School to the national
pastime as she is played in intercol
legiate circles. It Is going to take all
the efforts of the players and Ihe
rooters to put one over on this pesky
foe. For Reading has vacuum cleaned
the field this season, and is Just cch
ing ato take a reef in Tech's sail.
It will be a historic clash when
Captain "Doggie" Julian, of Reading,
and Captain "Nclsy" Hocrr.er, of
Tech, toss for in and out. The bat
tle is to be waged on the Island; 3
o'clock sharp, and a warning is sent
to come early for the crowd will bo
huge.
Tech will line up with Smith, catch
er; Germer, pitcher; Hinkle, third
base; Vevadou. center field; Captain
Hoerner, left field; S. Bell, first base;
L. Bell, shortstop; Coach Albright;
Fortna pitcher and Emmanuel, sec
ond base; right Lingle.
Much of the success of the Techni
cal High School's baseball team is
due to the untiring energies of the
three jrenerallssimos pictured cbove.
When it was quite late In the season
it was decided to have baseball again
and once "Birdie" Hinkle was elect
ed manager he sent out letters to all
parts of the State inviting contests.
He arranged a strong schedule and
when not busy writing letters he is
playing third base for the Maroon
nine. Coach Albright is a member
of the Tech faculty. He played the
several athletic ".ports at Albright
College under the famous "Charlie"
Kelchner. On the right Is "Bill"
Hoerner, as versatile as "Jim"Thorpe.
He is captain and outfielders.

Winning from St. Mary's by a
score of s'to 2, Galahad jumped
into second place last evening in an
Allison Hill contest. By hitting the
ball the St. Mary's lads jumped into
the lead in the fourth on Zerance's
double, a fielder's choice and an
error by Rellly of an easy roller.
In the fifth Galahad clinched the
contest by batting around that ses
sion. "Red" Foiand walked, Fet
row singled and Reilly laid down an
infield hit. Cobaugh cracked out a
hit on which Foiand scored. Clark
sent out a sacrifice fly; an error and
a double by Klerner sent five runs
across the plate that spelled victory
for the Galahad team.
In the sixth St. Mary's BCored
